This Weekend: San Diego Spirits Festival

This weekend San Diego will host more than 65 liquor brands, dozens of bartenders, and hundreds of saavy tasters. The reason? The second annual San Diego Spirits Festival. Check out this video of last year’s event.

The four day event runs from Wednesday June 2 to Saturday June 5 and combines food, fashion, and the beverages that bring everything together. Follow this link to the event home page to purchase tickets and get complete details on the parties, fashion shows, and Saturday’s Grand Tasting.

The culminating event on Saturday features bar tender competitions and unlimited tastes of many popular and unique liquors and beverages. General admission to the Grand Tasting is $50.

Thankfully, the Spirits Festival is not just about yummy mixed drinks. Each night is capped off with a party where a $10 donation covers admission, hosted bars, and donations to charitable organizations including the San Diego Junior League.

This is one event that is definitely worth the road trip. If you’re not spending the night, make sure you take a DD!
